The 4-H Youth Development Program is a part of the University of Califor-nia Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources (UCANR). UCANR is a network of researchers and educators who are responsible for the develop-ment of knowledge in agriculture, natural and human resources. UC Coop-erative Extension (UCCE) offices are local problem-solving centers. These campus-based specialists along with county based advisors work as a team to bring the University’s research-based information to Californians.
Have you ever noticed that our local 4-H program changes in little ways over time? That’s because University re-searchers continue to find new ways of positively im-pacting youth and furthering their development. This brings a lot of opportunity for the youth of our community
and enhances our 4-H program!
Saturday—February 1 Registration from 9—9:30AM
Event will begin immediately after registration closes Pre-entry not required
Tehama District Fairgrounds
All 4-H members, leaders and parents are invited to attend the an-nual Livestock Judging Day. The day begins with registration where participants are given a set of score sheets. On these sheets mem-bers note their results for the classes.

Bowman 4-H's December meeting was full of fun. We started our meeting out with the installations of our new officers. Then we shared information with the members on all upcoming 4-H events. We collected
Christmas ornaments and decorated a Christmas tree that was donated to a family. One of our traditions is to sing the Twelve Days of Christmas. It is one of the activities that all the kids and parents enjoy. This month we went to the mountains and cut Christmas Trees and had our annual Christmas Tree sales, which was a great success. For our January community service we will be collecting jackets for kids. We look forward to seeing everyone at our next club meeting on January 7, 2020 at Evergreen Elementary School Gym at 6:30pm.

Wow! Can you believe it? We are half way through the 2019-2020 financial year, and now is a good time for club treasurers to review their finances and treasurer book. For new
club treasurers, and leaders, this can especially helpful to practice and become familiar with the process, as well as helping to identify any current issues, e.g, policy non-compliance and address these prior to the end of the program year. The Mid-year peer review form 5.2 and checklist form 5.3 can be found in the 4-H Treasurer’s Manual available at http://4h.ucanr.edu/files/14647.pdf
Bowman 4-H Club will be running the Cake Wheel for 4-H Fun Night! If you like to bake, or know someone who does, Bowman 4-H needs cakes, cupcakes and cookies for their Cake Wheel!

Cakes, Cupcakes and Cookies must be wrapped before leaving home, unwrapped items cannot be accepted.
No cream or egg fillings will be accepted, as they will be sitting out.
Cakes, Cupcakes and Cookies may be dropped off throughout the event on February 8

Uniforms are not required for UC 4-H membership and may not be required or used as evaluation criteria for any UC 4-H activities. Some local, county, and district fair boards require wearing the official uniform of the organization they are representing for participation in livestock shows. See more information about the uniform online at: http://4h.ucanr.edu/About/Uniform/. The 4-H hat, scarf and tie may be purchased from some local stores, 4-H clubs or Leslie Carman 4-H Club Supplies at www.4hsupplies.com. Available at the Tehama County UCCE 4-H Office are donated white pants and occasionally, collared shirts which may be borrowed by current 4-H members. Normal business hours are 8AM—5PM, Monday through Friday.
Each child pays an annual state program fee. This fee contributes to costs for county staff positions, online systems, statewide events and activities, and accident/sickness insurance. Some counties and/or clubs have additional program fees that support county and/or club activities. The UC 4-H is open to all youth, regardless of their ability to pay. Program fees can be waived or reduced for eligible youth. Contact your county Extension office for more information.

All 4-H fundraising activities need prior approval from the county director. If your project or club are intending on raising funds, you must complete the Fundraiser Approval form 8.7 to the Tehama County UCCE 4-H Office at least 2 weeks prior to the fundraising activity. Also re-member to speak with your club leader and treasurer as the method of fundraising and intended use of funds must be included in the annual budget proposal, and reviewed and approved by the county director (CA 4-H State Policy VII. Planning and Fundraising, Section A). At the completion of the fundraiser, a Fundraiser Report of Funds form must be completed and submitted to the Tehama County UCCE 4-H Of-fice. These forms can be found online by visiting: https://bit.ly/2DY3uyN and California 4-H Policies can be found at: http://4h.ucanr.edu/Resources/Policies/
UC 4-H promotes participation and excellence through rewarding members of all ages with rib-bons, pins, patches, medallions, stars, and certificates. Primary members (5 to 8 years old) should
only receive recognition for participation. Youth development research has shown that competition does not have positive effects on this age group. In UC 4-H, competitions are judged one of two ways. In the Ameri-can judging system, competitors are judged against one another and awarded 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place. In the Danish judging system, competitors are judged against a universal standard and their score awards them medals like gold, blue, and red. The biggest difference to note is that in the Danish system there is no maxi-mum or minimum number of gold, blue, or red awards that can be awarded – every competitor has an equal chance at the highest award.

Does 4-H have a Uniform?

The Presentation Trophy, sponsored by Red Bluff Rotary, is an award given to all qualified 4-H members (Primary members included) by giving five or more presentations during the program year to specific audi-ences. The trophies will be presented at Awards Night in the Fall. Each time members give their presenta-tion, they must get verification signatures on the Presentation Award application available online at: http://cetehama.ucanr.edu/4-H_Program/Resources_Forms_and_Links/Scholarships_-_Awards_718/. Thank you to Red Bluff Rotary for sponsoring this opportunity. Applications are due to the 4-H Office before Leader’s Council in October.
The 4-H uniform hat is a source of pride for the California 4-H Youth Development Program. California is the only state to have a 4-H uniform hat! Many members use the hat to display their achievement pins. A 4-H uniform hat is NOT required for membership in the California 4-H Youth Development Program or for partici-pation in any 4-H activity, event, or occasion. Did you recently earn 4-H recognition and are unsure where to place them on your 4-H hat?
Saturday—January 18 Registration and Judging will begin at 9:30AM
Judging will close at 11:00am Paskenta Community Hall in Paskenta
How do you treat a skin burn, plan a hiking trip, replace a button, or identify bones from an owl pellet? Life Skills Judging Day is a great way to learn about interesting topics and build your evaluation and presentation skills. No preregistration or preparation is neces-sary. Judging Activities will be provided for both primary and regular members.
For additional information please contact Debbie Spangler at 354-4530.

County 4-H Presentation Trophy
Note: If a member earns more year stripes than can fit on the right side of the hat, they may "wrap around" their stripes and continue onto the left side of the hat.
Medals may be worn on either side of the hat. Placing them on the left is recommended.
Note: No other pin or ribbon should be worn on the hat other than 4-H related items. The hat should reflect the
dignity of the 4-H Youth Development Program. Some items that should not be worn on the hat include buttons, fair medals, convention badges or other regalia.
Right side of Hat
4-H Year Completion Stripes earned go behind the UCANR logo.
Year completion pins (primary, junior, inter-mediate and senior) - are placed above the year stripe in which the pin was earned, starting with the primary pins next to the UCANR logo.
Officer Pins are aligned with the year they were earned and go above the year Completion pins. 100% Attendance Pins are placed below the stripe of the year the pin was earned.
Left side of Hat
All Star Ambassador, Platinum, Gold, Silver, or Bronze stars are placed on the front. You may "cascade" the stars if you would like as shown.
Place the Junior/Teen Leadership emblems and the Hi
4-H patch (in that order) behind the stars.

4-H Life Skills Judging Day
PAGE 6 IN THE CLOVER JANUARY 2020
BE SURE TO READ IF PARTICIPATING IN MORE THAN ONE ORGANIZATION: It is agreed that when an individual belongs to more than one organization, or exhibits as an independent, he/she must carry a different ownership/entrepreneurial project in each organization/independent. To further clarify this policy, when a member maintains projects in 4-H, FFA, Grange, or independently, the projects may not be in the same kind of livestock or crop production classification. For example, a beef project in FFA and a sheep project in 4-H would be acceptable since these two projects are both different species and produce a differ-ent commodity, but a beef breeding project in FFA and a beef market project in 4-H would not be accepta-ble since they are of the same species and produce the same commodity of beef; even if the animals were of different breeds. A further example of a project of the same specie but different production type would be a dairy goat project in Grange and a meat goat project in 4-H that would be acceptable since the production of milk versus meat is clearly different. A member of an FFA chapter, Grange, or 4-H unit (club, group, etc.), or independent exhibitor may transfer projects from one organization/independent to another only once dur-ing a calendar year. Once a project transfer is made, youth may not transfer their project to another organi-zation for 12 months. For the purpose of clarification, the 12-month period starts from the date of the first show occurring after the transfer. For example, a youth transfers their project from 4-H to FFA on May 25th. The first show, following the project transfer, occurs on July 30th. The youth may not transfer their project to another youth organization until July 31 of the following year. Transferring projects once is al-lowed when ownership requirements are met. Transferring projects between organizations more than once within a 12-month period is prohibited.

For a November community service project Manton 4-H held a support our troops drive to collect and send gift boxes and Christmas cards to our troops overseas. Manton 4-H members made handmade Christmas cards and items were collected from community members, 4-H Members and local businesses, such as the Old Station Store and Dollar General of Shingletown. Additionally we held a collection drive at Red Bluff Food Maxx. The package drive items went to Homeward Bound Military Family Support Services to be shipped out and arrive by Christmas to our troops. All together we were able to deliver a large pickup bed full and an SUV full of items! Thank you, Holly and Cole Hall, Manton 4-H

Corning 4-H Report
December was probably one of our busiest months of the year. First of we had our Cinnamon Roll Fund-raiser. Most of our club participated. Everyone woke up around 3 or 4 am that morning. We started off by making the base of the cinnamon roll then after our break did the frosting. We ended around 9am and sold out quick. I’m sure everyone had lots of fun! Second off we had our Christmas party! Everyone brought in food for our potluck and we did a gift exchange. We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and we look forward to the New Year. - Submitted by Aubree Fox, Reporter
